Rumours and Stuff

Didn't fart enough apparently

It’s all about farting out of dummy half apparently, no wonder why people aren’t happy to talk to BA.

I could see intent from Lussick in the trial, but I thought execution was average and he just didn't look quick at all when darting out of dummy half.

I thought he was bog average, JA had to cover him more than a few times because he struggled to get to dummy half.

Papali,Opacic,Hipgrave,Lussick....That is the 4.

Lussick actualy impressed me. His rope will be to give Mahoney a 20 min spell.

W.Smith is my preference though. And roache once fit as he can play lock.

Good I wasn’t the only one that noticed that. Hopefully it’s a fitness thing. His passing was ok if slow. But he looks willing to run a lot and that’s apparently what everyone wants our hooker to do! So I guess first picked?

Off the last trial Billy Smith is light years ahead of Lussick. It may have been because it was a trial, but Smith was a level above 75% of the players out there

I'm guessing that Kyle Schneider is not going around this year ? Unless Flegg ?

We can only hope Gronky. Cheers.

I'm a huge Reed Mahoney fan - that trial only cemented my opinion that Mahoney is the best hooker at this club.

You know what they say. Give a man enough rope...

I don't think Brown is worth more then 500-550k. Being that he will be 28 by time the season kicks of this year and 29 next year I would let him walk.
My best offer would be 2yrs at 500k. Anymore and its poor management if ask me.

Hey @hindy111 do you think offering more than a 2 year, $500k per year contract to Brown would be good management or poor management?

Possibly its why Hipgrave was signed. They may see him as someone they could develop into Brown's position. Could be very shrewd. His performance last week wasn't great but he's been given another opportunity this week to impress.

I think after this year Brown would have played his best footy. At 29 he may still be good but by 30 I reckon there will be signs of some decline.

FFS that’s not what I asked
